Inner Space: Krautrock Year Zero

The recent revaluation of the psychotronic movies Kamasutra (1968) and Agilok & Blubbo (1969) are not particularly noteworthy for either film's content but rather for the importance of their soundtrack's. Each film was composed by Inner Space an early incarnation of Krautrock pioneers CAN.



'Apokalypse' taken from Agilok & Blubbo makes clear that the monotonous groove CAN would utilise at the core of their sound was alive and breathing from an early stage. For ten dizzying minutes 'Apokalypse' charges headfirst into the horizon, a wah-wah fuelled locomotive set for the birth of Krautrock.
